Each ClearCore Industrial I/O and Motion Controller controls up to 4 axes of high-speed step & direction motion and provides 13 configurable, 24 VDC-compatible I/O points.
Program ClearCore using its extensive C++ library and Microchip Studio, or use the optional Arduino Wrapper Library for development in the Arduino IDE. Numerous example projects are included to help you get started quickly.
ClearCore can operate standalone or as part of a larger distributed system, with Ethernet, serial, USB, and optional wireless communication. Need more I/O? Add up to eight CCIO-8 expansion modules for up to 64 additional digital I/O points.

| Total I/O | 13 built-in I/O points, software configurable as any combination of up to 13 digital inputs, 4 analog inputs, 6 digital outputs, 2 HBridge/speaker outputs and 1 analog output (4-20mA or 0-20mA). Another 64 digital I/O can be added by using optional 8-point I/O expansion modules (p/n CCIO-8). All configuration of I/O hardware is controlled by software, i.e., no jumpers, DIP switches, trim-pots, etc. need to be manually set. |
| Serial communication | 2 Multi-functional, individually configurable serial ports that can be used as a UART, SPI, or RS-232 at up to 115.2kBaud. Rates up to 2MBaud are achievable depending on cable length, slave transceiver circuit and grounding. 5V power pins are available on each port. |
| Ethernet | 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet |
| USB | USB 2.0 |

Easily connect 6 signals from a differential quadrature encoder (A+ A~, B+ B~ and optionally I+ I~) to ClearCore using only 3 digital inputs (DI-6, 7 and 8), without wiring to separate terminal blocks. Connect your encoder to the adapter's DB-9 input and connect the adapter to ClearCore with a standard ribbon cable (20-pin, 0.1" pitch) for a simple noise-free setup. The adapter provides overload-protected +5 volts for the encoder, and "bad sequence" detection warns of faulty or dirty encoders.
